A Secret<br />
His stale breath. His hollow eyes. He tries to take me into his guise.<br />
His promises of love wrapped in warped charm, a damaged boy he intends to harm.<br />
A pious exterior of wit <strong>and</strong> grace, his sign of peace steeped in disgrace; shame on those<br />
who allowed him save face.<br />
